Agreed couldn't have said it shorter or better. A cheap VR and 800 bucks later plus some deletes, I'm doing 0-60 in 5.88 and 1/4th 12.6-12.8, depending on how bad I want to beat my clutch up that day. List me another 3 grand car that does that, and I'll cook some eggs for your granny.

Post list of mods, videos, and timeslips. I call

5.88 0-60 does not = 12 second quarter mile time
$800 in mods does not = 12 second passes in a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder car, when it runs 15's stock
"Plus some deletes"? Speak english please

I've owned or driven every generation of gti at one point or another, and have had extensive experience fixing/modding them. Out of the box I would have to say the MK1 rabbit gti gets my vote. Great car to drive and it has a character unlike any other generation IMHO. For overall comfort, cheap mod ability while still retaining a connection between the car and the road that many new cars lack, I'd have to say MK3. Most junkyards around here have loads of them available, and their biggest factory fault (the atrocious suspension) can easily be fixed with a cup kit.
The MK5 and 6 both seem to be boated far-flung images of what the GTI used to be to me, but the MK7 looks to be a turn in the right direction. We'll see. I do not like the MK4, my brother and a few friends have owned them and they were a pain to work on and had some of the stupidest problems I've run into. They were also VW's 1st attempt at moving the brand "up-market." The MK2 is a good car, but it looks like a fat MK1 to me. Maybe with a vr6 in it I would have a different opinion. Just my little spiel.

Well for starters it is the first GTI to be lighter than the previous generation, and if the numbers prove correct, it is a significant upgrade in terms of power out of the box. It also incorporates track technology into a street car, something VW hasn't done much of since the early generations as far as I know. I don't necessarily dislike the 5 or 6, but I will say they felt less engaging to drive to me than the older cars. That being said, I did like the MK6 better than the 5. VW improved what is essentially the same platform. I should also say that by "bloated" I mean big and heavy, without the chassis or power to even things out. The MK7 looks to be an improvement in both of those areas.

And if VW does what they normally do, they will strip off all these things for the north american market
